Yesterday we mentioned that there'd be a kite ballet going on at Gas Works Park all day today. The more Jeremy and I thought about it, the more it sounded like a terrific lunchtime break. So off I went, camera in hand.

Closer to the park, we could see the kites scudding in a steady northeasterly breeze. When the wind slackened, they dipped toward the ground. "This is great," said a passerby, wandering beneath the swooping kites. "They're like friendly ghosts."

There were plenty of kites still to be put in the air just after noon. The whole 121-kite fleet should be quite a sight.
